“The disclosure that Clinton Chair John Podesta transferred his shares in Putin-backed Joule Unlimited to an anonymous holding company when he joined the Obama Administration is extremely concerning,” said Donald Trump Senior Communications Advisor Jason Miller in a statement.

Podesta failed to fully disclose his position on Joule Unlimited’s board of directors and include it in his federal financial disclosures, as required by law, before he became President Obama’s senior adviser.

“Because the holding company is completely anonymous, we do not know whether or not he still has deep financial ties to Vladimir Putin and his regime,” Trump advisor Jason Miller wrote. “As such, Mr. Podesta needs to either reveal who is behind the holding company or he must resign from the Clinton campaign immediately.”

In his campaign for president, Donald Trump has not balked at breaking from longstanding party tradition, nor has he shied away from upending diplomatic protocol.

But the Republican nominee’s sustained embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlighted this week in a candidates’ forum on NBC, has stunned political leaders of both parties who view Putin as a stark adversary. Trump’s stance could also trigger broader global consequences, veering from established American policy on Russia to an extent that experts suggest is unprecedented in modern presidential politics.
